I am taking a test this week and one of the questions (which has been
supplied by the instructor) is a multiple choice with answers which do not
seem to be correct. Are Valid relational operators: + * / + or -,
or should they be: "equal to, not equal to, less than, etc. as indicated in
my text book."

Hi!

I am by no means an expert on these matters but in some formula constructs
plus (+) can mean the relational expression OR and multiply (*) can mean the
relational expression AND.

Thanks a lot! I am going back to college after 40 years, and hope to get 4.0

Biff, what about "all numeric expressions." which is one of the
possibilities listed. Thanks if you have time.

Numeric expressions can be set up using arithmetic operators, relational
operators, and/or functions, so they are thus not "valid relational
operators."

Your textbook is right.

Hi. In Excel Help, do a search for "About calculation operators"

Excel calls them "Comparison Operators". Other terms might be "Relational
operators."

(In the Math program Mathematica, terms like <, =, , etc are found under
"Relational Operators" also.)
Good luck on the test!!

Thanks I will try it.
